[Mailman-Users] how to receive all notifications and bounces
Dear All, I have a question regarding bounce processing. I was setting up a list for a small group (~20 people) working together preparing documents, etc. What I need is to receive immediate notifications if something goes wrong, e.g. an e-mail address was mistyped when added, some delivery errors, etc. Looking at bounce processing, I have found options aiming at easing the administrator's task by filtering out bounces. Even if I turn off bounce processing, it is written that: *bounce_processing* (bounce): Should Mailman perform automatic bounce processing? By setting this value to /No/, you disable all automatic bounce processing for this list, however bounce messages will still be discarded so that the list administrator isn't inundated with them. How can I set this up to receive immediate notifications?

[Mailman-Users] Problem integrating v2.1.5 into the mail system
I upgraded from Mailman 2.0.6 to 2.1.5, and I'm having a problem with the aliases. My MTA is Postfix. Here's my problem. Our mail system uses the LDAP server for all the MTA required local aliases. However, on the specific server hosting Mailman, I modified the following line in the Postfix main.cf file to include the Mailman aliases file: alias_database = dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases,dbm:/opt/mailman_2.1.5/data/aliases Apart from hosting Mailman, that server is not part of our regular mail system. When a message is sent to listname@linfield.edu, Postfix, on which ever one of the mail gateway servers that first sees the message, looks up the alias, and then using the mailroutingaddress attribute, re-routes the mail to listname@calvin.linfield.edu, which is the actual name of the host. However, when the mail hits the Mailman server, Postfix reject it with the error: 550 listname@calvin.linfield.edu: User unknown in local recipient table The other pertinent setting in main.cf is: local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, dbm:/opt/mailman_2.1.5/data/aliases I've played extensively with the various Postfix parameters, and I've not been able to resolve this problem. It probobly is a Postfix settings issue, and I'm hoping someone has had and resolved a similar issue.

Here are some things to check: In your main.cf file you've specified a file_type of dbm but I don't see anything in your mail saying you've told Mailman's Postfix.py to use that file format. Have you? It defaults to whatever is the default database type in your postfix installation. You should verify the file types are in fact in harmony with one another. You could take a look at postfix error logging to see if its complaining or use the postmap command to simulate the lookup. Also, it looks like you're performing domain mapping when you re-route to the primary server. If the alias lookup's include domain information you may fail the local_recipient_maps lookup because although the user part of the address is correct it may include a domain part not recognized by the server fielding the request. I would use the postmap command to simulate an alias lookup and see what is returned and make sure domains are not part of the alias or if they are that they match. -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman stopped working after upgrade
Mark said, Yes, it has the flags, but what is the value of
the ${MAILGID}
parameter? The error message you received says it's
'mailman' and should be
'mail'.
And looking at the log, he seems to be correct:
Sep 12 12:16:19 [Mailman mail-wrapper] Group mismatch error. Mailman
expected the mail_wrapper script to be executed as group
mailman, but_the
system's mail server executed the mail script as_group
mail. Try tweaking
the mail server to run the_script as group mailman, or
re-run configure,
_providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'._
But the .ebuild script sets it to gid 280, shouldn't it be
8? why is that?
Is that the problem? How can I fix that. Re-emerging doesn't
let me change
those .ebuild values. MD5 errors and such.
APACHEGID=81
MAILGID=280
src_compile() {
econf \
--prefix=${INSTALLDIR} \
--with-mail-gid=${MAILGID} \
--with-cgi-gid=${APACHEGID} \
|| die configure failed
make || die make failed
}
# ll /etc/exim/exim.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29452 Apr 29 13:54 /etc/exim/exim.conf
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script.
# Value is normally mailman
MM_UID=mailman
MM_GID=mailman
So, these match what the comment says there, and what the
.ebuild is doing.
I'm so confused. *sigh*
As well you should be at this point. The wrapper is telling
you that it
expects to be executed as group 'mailman', and it looks from what
you've presented that it was in fact built that way. It also seems you
can't change it in your update package.
The wrapper also complains that it is not being executed as group
'mailman', but rather as group 'mail'. This is the confusing part
because it seems from the above that you are telling Exim to invoke
the wrapper as group 'mailman' yet the wrapper is telling you it is
being invoked as group 'mail'. I would look carefully at the Exim
configuration to be sure that
MM_UID=mailman
MM_GID=mailman
are in the right place and are not being overridden somewhere else.
Below is portions of my /etc/exim/exim.conf. I deleted out any irrellevant
parts, but I kept everything in the right order... I believe it's pretty
much stock. (I don't know much about exim).

It's failing in the mail wrapper which calls getgid() to get the group its being executed as. Mailman is simply reporting the facts, which is it is not being executed as the group it was intended to be executed as. In your configuration it is exim that is executing mailman wrapper, thus it is exim that needs looking at. Also, please note the error concerns group id not the user id. The error reported says exim executed the mail wrapper as the group mail when it expected it to be group mailman. This means exim invoked the wrapper in the mail group. Sorry, I'm not an exim user so I can't tell you the particulars of exim, but I suspect there is an option when executing the mailman wrapper to elect the group in addition to the user (its the group thats important). Also, its not the setuid or setgid bit of exim that's relevant in this case, that says when that exim executable is run, ignore who is invoking me and run as this user or group instead. Which for exim when invoking mailman on your behalf is not relevant (and may not even be desirable), what is relevant is that when exim invokes the mailman wrapper it calls setgid(mailman) (I'm playing a little loose and fast here, but thats the idea in a nutshell). This probably only happens via an exim configuration parameter tied to mailman invocation.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman with MHonArc
To me, the problem with Pipermail is not what it does, but what it doesn't do. Pipermail doesn't allow you to reverse the order of the postings, so readers have to scroll to the bottom of what is, in many cases, a large archive, doesn't show the name of the person posting, and doesn't date or date sort the entries. I too am looking at MhonArc as a possible solution, to work in tandem with Mailman, but am not proficient enough to install or configure. I'd like to hire someone for the task, if that is possible?

My MTA is Postfix. Here's my problem. Our mail system uses the LDAP server for all the MTA required local aliases. However, on the specific server hosting Mailman, I modified the following line in the Postfix main.cf file to include the Mailman aliases file: alias_database = dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases,dbm:/opt/mailman_2.1.5/data/aliases Apart from hosting Mailman, that server is not part of our regular mail system. When a message is sent to listname@linfield.edu, Postfix, on which ever one of the mail gateway servers that first sees the message, looks up the alias, and then using the mailroutingaddress attribute, re-routes the mail to listname@calvin.linfield.edu, which is the actual name of the host. However, when the mail hits the Mailman server, Postfix reject it with the error: 550 listname@calvin.linfield.edu: User unknown in local recipient table The other pertinent setting in main.cf is: local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, dbm:/opt/mailman_2.1.5/data/aliases I've played extensively with the various Postfix parameters, and I've not been able to resolve this problem. It probobly is a Postfix settings issue, and I'm hoping someone has had and resolved a similar issue. Here are some things to check: In your main.cf file you've specified a file_type of dbm but I don't see anything in your mail saying you've told Mailman's Postfix.py to use that file format. Have you? It defaults to whatever is the default database type in your postfix installation. You should verify the file types are in fact in harmony with one another. You could take a look at postfix error logging to see if its complaining or use the postmap command to simulate the lookup. Also, it looks like you're performing domain mapping when you re-route to the primary server. If the alias lookup's include domain information you may fail the local_recipient_maps lookup because although the user part of the address is correct it may include a domain part not recognized by the server fielding the request. I would use the postmap command to simulate an alias lookup and see what is returned and make sure domains are not part of the alias or if they are that they match. -- Rob Tanner UNIX Services Manager Linfield College, McMinnville OR -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] how to receive all notifications and bounces
Csaba Kiraly wrote: I have a question regarding bounce processing. I was setting up a list for a small group (~20 people) working together preparing documents, etc. What I need is to receive immediate notifications if something goes wrong, e.g. an e-mail address was mistyped when added, some delivery errors, etc. Looking at bounce processing, I have found options aiming at easing the administrator's task by filtering out bounces. Even if I turn off bounce processing, it is written that: *bounce_processing* (bounce): Should Mailman perform automatic bounce processing? By setting this value to /No/, you disable all automatic bounce processing for this list, however bounce messages will still be discarded so that the list administrator isn't inundated with them. How can I set this up to receive immediate notifications? If you have site administration capability over your Mailman installation and the incoming MTA, you can set the alias for the listname-bounces address so it forwards to you directly. If not, or if you still want automated processing, set the following bounce processing options. bounce_processing Yes bounce_score_threshold 0.5 bounce_info_stale_after won't matter - default 7 is OK bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings - default is OK bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval - default is OK Notifications bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner Yes Sbounce_notify_owner_on_disable Yes bounce_notify_owner_on_removal Yes With settings like these, the first bounce will disable the subscription and the owner will be notified and the notification will contain a copy of the bounce message. The key is having the notifications turned on and the bounce_score_threshold low enough that the first bounce causes a disable. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
